10 Weird iPhone Games You've Got to Try

10 Weirdest iPhone Games

If you are worried about the rapture coming, imagine how the extinct dinosaurs must have felt. In Velocirapture, you play a wrathful, yet benevolent god, who is out to save all the good velociraptors while smiting all the bad ones. You swipe all the good dinos into the outstretched godly hand, and kill all the bad ones -- who are really bad, and will knock other dinos into a pit. It's a game by Adult Swim, so you expect a lot of silliness and fun mechanics.

When battling the evil forces of skeletons, the only force you can turn to is pizza. In this iPhone title, you play a giant, rolling pizza that destroys skeletons. The controls are simple; you tilt the phone to roll your angry pizza around, and tap to smash on skeletons foes. The levels are varied enough that this game is beyond a gimmick, too, and it's enjoyable to play.

Enviro Bear 2010 is a game that can only be described as an elaborate troll. You play a bear in search of fish and berries to prepare for winter. Instead of going about the forest like a normal bear, you drive a car. The controls are impossible at best; you have to use only one paw to operate the gas, break, steering wheel and gear shift, as well as to whack at other things that get into the cab. There is no winning in this game -- the best entertainment is trying to get your friends it.

Most games ask you to climb; this one asks you to plummet. F is for Falling is a simple game that looks as if it was drawn by hand. In this game, you are falling from a plane, and must avoid a series of obstacles by tilting the iPhone.

Don't you hate it when giant mutant faces grow on the top of your hand? That's the whole point of Ugly Hand, a weird game in which you must swat at the horrifyingly animated faces growing from your skin. This dark game is made by KAYAC, who also make other weird animated iPhone games.

If you are a person who fantasizes about fighting people you know, FaceFighter is the game for you. This bizarre title allows you to place faces from your iPhone's camera roll onto your opponent, and then take them on. (In this, I've used my friend's dog, which looks pretty sinister with its fists raised.) Simple punch and kick buttons make the action easy, though it may not have enough depth beyond the novelty of squashing the face of someone you know.

Frederic Chopin is back from the dead, and he's got to figure out why in Frederic - Resurrection of Music. This iPhone title is a rhythm game; you play remixes of Chopin's famous pieces on piano to take out enemies around the world. It has quite a deep story for an iPhone game, and entertaining cut scenes, but there isn't much weirder than playing a zombie 19th-century composer fighting French rappers.

If you're familiar with indie musician Daniel Johnston, you'll know he has been iconically represented by an alien-looking frog with long eyestalks. The frog was normally was paired with "Hi, How Are You?" written below it. The weird little creature has inspired a game tribute to Johnston and his music. You navigate the frog through 40 levels to win your love back from Satan. The art is surreal, and the gameplay is simple; fans of the musician will appreciate it the most, but it strange enough for anyone.

Channel your rage at overgrown beards and ombre hair in Punch a Hipster, which says it all in the title. You're presented with a series of hipster pictures, which you tap to punch. The game is little more than that, but maybe it's just meant to be ironic.

In Rainbow Tissue Cat, you play Mr. Tibbles, a cat that shoots rainbows out of its backside. Mr. Tibbles has to protect the castle from an army of woodpeckers, which he reaches by bouncing on piles of toilet paper. What more do you really need in life?

Are you looking for iPhone games that have strayed very, very far off the beaten path?

If you're looking for some of the strangest stuff available in the iTunes Store, we've picked out 10 titles are just plain weird. Some are have bizarre main characters, like zombie Chopin in Frederic - Resurrection of Music or a giant, rolling pizza in Pizza Vs. Skeletons.
